SAMPLING SUDS: The sampling room at Harbor Head Brewing Company (81 Fort Salonga Road, Northport) is now serving up suds. Previously only permitted to sell brews for off-site consumption, Harbor Head has now gotten permission to also offer tastings on site for thirsty patrons. The sampling room is currently open Saturdays and Sundays, 1-6 p.m., and plans to extend those hours when the weather warms up.

MORE BREW NEWS: We also heard that the folks over at soon-to-be-open Six Harbors Brewing Company have started the brewing process over at 243 New York Ave., Huntington village. The brewery, founded by husband-and-wife-duo Mark and Karen Heuwetter, is planned to open this winter. For now, they’ve started brewing their H3-Huntington Harbor Hoppy Double IPA and Duck Island XPA. We’ll let you know when we have an update on the brewery – it was awaiting further renovations and approvals as of deadline last week – but for now keep up with the progress at Facebook.com/sixharbors.
